“They’re all yours. My dear, it’s not easy to make money. Why did you buy so many things in one go? Don’t you know how to save some money? How much did you pay for all these?” lectured Mrs.
Sweeney.
“M-Mine?” Lina was dumbfounded. There must be at least 30
boxes!
However, she had not bought anything online.
Lina casually opened a box. When she saw a container with the words ‘folic acid’, she was shocked. She quickly hugged the box and said, “Mom, I’ll take these back to my room first. Uh, I won’t bother you anymore!”
With that, she quickly carried all the boxes that cluttered the living room back to her room. She closed the door and began to unbox them.
The more boxes Lina opened, the more surprised she became.
What was contained in these packages were food for pregnant women, books about pregnancy, baby items, skincare products for pregnant women, stretch mark creams, and even… a pillow for pregnant women…
Lina was only glad that she did not unbox these things in front of her parents. Otherwise, she would have received a good scolding!
The receiver’s name and address on the boxes were all hers.
Come to think of it, Hadwin Stephenson was probably the only one who would send these things to her.
Lina hurriedly picked up her phone and dialed Hadwin Stephenson’s number.
It was not long before Hadwin Stephenson’s gentle voice sounded from the phone. “Lina?”
“Did you buy the things that were delivered to my house?” asked Lina.
“Yes, have you received them?” asked Hadwin Stephenson.
“Yes, there are more than 30 packages!” Lina snapped.
“Only 30?” asked Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina immediately had a bad feeling. “Wait, how… many packages did you send to my house?”
“Probably a hundred. I thought they would be of some use to you,” he said.
..” She felt defeated. “Come on! Do you have too much money to spend?”
“You’re the only one I’m willing to spend money on,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina froze before quickly saying, “Hurry and take these things back. Take back the rest too when they get delivered to my house. I don’t need them!”
“If you already have all these things, I can take them back. But if you don’t, you can have them,” he said.
“Hadwin Stephenson, if I use the things you give me, won’t my parents find out I’m pregnant? Do you think they’re blind? How am I supposed to explain it to them?” Lina lowered her voice and growled.
“Explain it however you want to. Are you going to keep it a secret all your life?” said Hadwin Stephenson.
“Why can’t I keep it a secret from them all my life? If I…” Then, she stopped short. Her teeth bit her lip and she did not go on.
Hadwin Stephenson, who was on the other end of the line, said. nothing too.
For a moment, there was only silence.
After a long while, Lina finally heard Hadwin Stephenson’s voice from the phone. “Are you thinking of aborting the baby?”
“… I’m just saying” she said timidly. She did not know why she. was scared when she heard Hadwin Stephenson ask that.
was as if it was a heinous thing to abort the baby.
“Anyway, hurry and send someone to take all these things back,” said Lina “Are you so scared of your parents finding out you’re pregnant?”
She snapped, “How am I not supposed to be scared? I’m a single woman who got pregnant. Do you think it’s a glorious matter Her parents were quite conservative, if they found out about it, she would be punished to kneel on a washboard “Then if we get married, your parents won’t scold you, no asked Hadwin Stephenson “Get… Get mander?” Line’s jaw dropped. Although she had thought about it, she did not expert Hardwin Stephanon to mention it so quickly ever do on the phone “If we get married, isn’t having kids something just and honorable?”
Lina froze. Her nose suddenly felt sore when she heard that. She remembered how she had asked him previously what they would do if she got pregnant. His answer was still the same!
“Hadwin Stephenson, do you think I should marry you just because you said so? You can’t even get my parents’ blessing, so why make it sound so simple? Do you know how much my parents hate you after we broke up?” Her voice broke, and she ended the call.
What happened back then was not only her sore spot but also her parents’
Her parents naturally felt betrayed when he broke up with her at her lowest when he was supposed to be someone she could rely Her parents were so sincere to him, thinking that he would become the son-in-law of the Sweeney family.
Lina sat on the bed and sobbed. Even if she tried hard to stop the tears, it was to no avail!
It was as if all the pent-up emotions within her had exploded.
When she went to work the next day, she had two panda-like dark circles around her eyes. The sight of her set off a flurry of speculation among her colleagues.
When she was about to get off work, Anthony Sherman texted her.
Anthony Sherman: [I’ll pick you up after work and take you to GB’s concert.]
Lina instantly froze. There were so many things going on lately that she had forgotten about it.
When she heard that GB’s concert was being held in Emerald City, she wanted to attend but could not get a ticket at all. It slipped out of her mouth when she was having dinner with Anthony Sherman.
Who knew that two days later, Anthony Sherman told her that he had gotten the tickets and invited her to GB’s concert.
She had been looking forward to the concert. After all, GB was her favorite group. The five handsome men were such eye candy. However, she was preoccupied with her thoughts.
Looking at Anthony Sherman’s text message, Lina hesitated before replying with an ‘Okay’. After all, she had to come clean with some things.
When it was time to get off work, Lina went downstairs and saw Anthony Sherman’s car parked across the street. She walked over and got into the car.
“We have two hours before the concert, so why don’t we get something to eat first?” asked Anthony Sherman.
“I guess so,” replied Lina.
“What would you like to eat?” asked Anthony Sherman.
“Anything that’s light,” said Lina.
The two went to a restaurant near the concert venue and ordered some light food.
As Lina ate, the feeling of nausea came over her again. She hurriedly rushed to the washroom to throw up.
She threw up for quite a while before coming out.
Anthony Sherman asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?”
“It’s morning sickness,” said Lina. She did not hide it from him. After all, she had agreed to go out with him to tell him about it.
“Morning sickness?” Anthony Sherman was stunned. His expression froze, and he could not react in time.
“It’s a hormonal reaction that pregnant women face, causing us to get morning sickness,” explained Lina.
